My great neighbors are just days away from being new puppy parents! This past weekend, I got to join them for a little shopping spree for the puppy! Personally... I am most looking forward to Dixie having a another best friend!! I went over all the hints and personal experiences with all of the puppy purchases I made in the past 2 1/2 years. 

This week, I want to go over a few purchases I've made over the years. I am going to do some comparison to all different brands I have purchased. Enjoy! 


Today, I want to talk about what no one wants to talk about... Waste Dispensers! There are a lot of options out there for you to try. I want to go ahead and lead you to the 5 paw winner - Bags on Board Waster Dispenser. (Picture at the Bottom) 


Petco - Via - $6.99
2 Paws
Pro - Price, under $7
Con - The top fell off nearly immediately and was never able to fit back onto the container securely. 


Arm & Hammer - Via - $7.99
3 Paws
Pro- Style... available in many fun colors.
Stays on the leash well with the the hard plastic hook.
Con - Only holds Arm & Hammer bags ($$).
When the top falls off and the bags roll out; it makes for one long mess. 


Top Paw - Via - $7.99
3 Paws
Pro - Zipper closure, stays shut, holds any waste bag, can hold a single key as well. 
Con - The Velcro latch ended up breaking away from the holder, lost the holder on a walk.


Bags on Board - Via - $7.99
5 Paws
Pro - Hard plastic, Screw-tight closure, Holds a variety of bags
Cons - Bulky.


The most important item that goes along with these dispensers are the bags themselves. While I might be able to find a great deal online... in person I get the BEST price at Home Goods! I can usually always get 320 bags for $9.99 - comparison to 315 bags for $24.99 at Petco


Bottomline:
Home Goods - 3 cents per bag
Petco - 8 cents per bag



Happy Shopping!
